Well, I guess with the help of RFC 1925, 2.6a, there's for sure a way to make this work:) > So now this server is running as RH EL :-( > If I get the time, I will test this myself to figure out what exactly is > the problem. (If anyone around has done this before, please let me know.) The nice thing is that it's all ELF binaries, so there are capable tools around for debugging symbol problems, different structure layout and the like. I think the easiest way to make it work would be to add a glue module in between the Tivoli module(s) and the kernel. Sure, that's some work, but it cannot be all that hard, given that sources for the RH kernels are available (and thus, you can figure out the correct struct layout and locking mechanisms).
